Preupdate rule set category

Use the preupdate rule sets to perform domain logic or validation that must be committed before the entity in question is committed. Only a change to an entity that implements the Validatable delegate can trigger a preupdate rule.

Typically, these rules execute before the validation rule set. Preupdate rules can perform a wide variety of actions as needed. The primary use of the preupdate rules in the base configuration is to keep a history of changes to contacts and addresses.

Additionally, there is a Pending Contact Change Preupdate rule set with rules that handle rejection of either a pending contact creation or a pending contact update.
